Watercolored Vellum Wreath + VIDEO + GIVEAWAY // Altenew

Hey all! Today I have another card using vellum (I can't seem to stop!) and a video! To see my Hero Arts post, go HERE.

I knew as soon as I laid eyes on the Doodle Blooms stamp set that I had to make a wreath with those delicate leaf images! And of course, I had to gold emboss them, and do it on vellum - one thing led to another, and this card was "born" and filmed in the space of about thirty minutes! Unfortunately, it took me a lot longer to narrate it, since my one year old niece and three year old nephew are visiting, so the house is hardly quiet. ;)

The how-to video...

If you are having problems viewing this video, please try watching it HERE on YouTube.

Gah! I really need to cut back on the vellum! But seriously, how pretty are these images embossed, colored and die cut? Because seriously, if you're considering this stamp set (which you definitely should be), the dies are pretty much a must. It makes creating light, fluffy cards so much easier and so much more fun.

I stamped the background with the leaf images, and embossed a sentiment from Beautiful Day to complete the card.

Thanks to Nicole and Altenew for this opportunity - I had so much fun! Though I was a teeny bit nervous creating a video for something other than my own entertainment (as I always am ;)).

For all the details on this fun video challenge, and a chance to be the next guest designer for the Altenew video challenges, go HERE.

Because I love this company and their stamps so much, and to thank you for stopping in, I'm giving away a $30 gift card to Altenew. You have three ways of entering, for a total of three entries:

You know how much I adore wreaths, Clare - this is so delicate with the vellum! LOVE it! I enjoyed your video, too - congrats on the guest spot at Altenew! Putting this set on my ever-growing wishlist!

Beautiful! What a wonderful technique to create such a soft and elegant card. Watercolor on velumn... who knew! I love everything by Altenew and would love to have a few of their gorgeous floral stamps (long wish list). Great job as a guest designer!

I love this sweet, simple wreath! The lavender/gold color combo is super pretty too! Perfect for Spring! I love Altenew's beautiful florals and have a few on their stamp sets on my wishlist. Thanks for the chance to win!
